On-screen marking for exams – important information
As an organisation which has innovation as one of its core values, ACCA is
committed to utilising the latest technology to provide services and support to
students. The number of ACCA students taking exams has increased
significantly over the years and using on-screen marking will ensure our exam
results service can be delivered within the existing timescales.
Following successful pilots in June and December 2009, from the June 2010
session all papers will be marked on-screen rather than on paper and, as a
result, the way you complete your script has changed.
What does this mean for you?
Primarily it means there is less form filling as you won’t have to complete your
details on a Candidate Registration Sheet (CRS) as well as your script booklet
as these two documents are now combined in a new-look Candidate Answer
Booklet (pictured below).

In addition you will be asked to write your name on the front of the newcandidate answer booklet. This page is not presented to the markers at any
stage. It will only be visible to ACCA staff when resolving any queries that could
potentially arise.
It has always been important to read and follow exam instructions carefully;
however ,it is vital now that ACCA is using this new technology.
There are critical instructions to follow in order that your exam paper can be
marked correctly using the new on-screen technology. You will be reminded of
these instructions again on the day of the exam.
Please read the important instructions that you will receive on exam day on page
30
On-screen marking – important exam day instructions for all candidates
Please complete your personal details on the front of the candidate answer
booklet. Plus it is essential that you bubble (fully colour-in the appropriate circle)
the following details very carefully:
About you: your registration number and name
About your exam: the paper you are taking and the version if appropriate
About your centre: the centre code (including hall), centre name and desk
number where you are sitting
All of these details are on your Examination Attendance Docket .
Please use black ballpoint pen at all times; to complete your details on the
booklet and when answering the exam questions. (Pencil, fountain pens, gel
pens, roller ball pens, metallic effect pens, glitter pens and other colours of pen
(including highlighter pens) will not be picked up by the scanning technology and
could result in questions not being marked correctly.)
Please score out incorrect answers rather than use correction fluid.
Additional instructions for candidates attempting papers with multiple-
choice questions (Papers F1, F2, F3, MMA, MFA, CAT Papers 1 and 2)
Please complete your multiple-choice question (MCQ) answers on page
2 of your answer booklet, inside the front cover, following the instructions
shown.
Please use the pages in the answer booklet to carry out any rough
working or write notes you wish to make. Note that these pages are not
viewed during the marking process so it is essential that you complete
the answer grid on page 2 of the booklet in order to receive your mark.
Please do not place answers in bubbles numbered 51 – 60.

space to complete your answers. It is essential that you complete all
details requested on any continuation booklets issued and that you
attach them to your main candidate booklet using the treasury tagprovided. Please do not insert one booklet inside another.
